Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Li Yao rushed in the dark and long pathway.

The Gold Crystal Pyramid that was as complicated as a labyrinth became crystal clear in his eyes, as if his retina had been covered with a map.

The gift from Wuying Qi 3.0 surged in his brain in information streams. The overwhelming information crashed and raised colorful tides whether or not he was willing to accept it.

Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!

Reality and illusions interchanged before Li Yao’s eyes.

He seemed to be watching Wuying Qi modify the Gold Crystal Pyramid on a large scale in the past months.

He also saw how Blackstar the Great made plans to upgrade the Gold Crystal Pyramid based on the remains of the Book of Revelation left by the Nuwa Clan.

He seemed to be even going back to hundreds of thousands of years ago, when infinite black beetles, in a life form that resembled jellyfish, polished rocks, established high towers, carved rune arrays, and built their final weapon.

The information of Wuying Qi, the Blood God, the Nuwa Clan, and even the Houyi Clan exploded inside Li Yao’s head, making him feel that this place was his home and his fortress.

The whole Gold Crystal Pyramid was an extension of his body and mind. It was part of him, and he was the master of the Gold Crystal Pyramid!

In only half a minute, he found a secret channel to the control center and appeared before the mental devil.

Even Long Yangjun and Li Jialing could barely keep up with him. They exclaimed in shock, wondering why he grew so familiar with the Gold Crystal Pyramid all of a sudden.

The mental devil’s exclamation, however, was even sharper than theirs, not because it was surprised at Li Yao’s familiarity with this place, but because it detected the abnormal energy deep inside Li Yao’s head.

As one of Li Yao’s two personalities, the mental devil had always been particularly sensitive about the unusual energy that invaded Li Yao’s brain.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Light of blood crawled out of the mainframe crystal processor of the Gold Crystal Pyramid and re-entered Li Yao’s brain. “So many things have entered you—my head when I’m away!”

“Too much debt is no debt.”

Li Yao said, “I’m used to being possessed by people anyway. Those things will be digested soon. Tell me the situation of the Gold Crystal Pyramid first. Can you shut it off with your power?”

“That’s impossible.”

The mental devil displayed thousands of graphs and illustrations in front of Li Yao by stimulating his retina. “Look, the central database of the Gold Crystal Pyramid is defended by a dozen flawless firewalls. I have to unlock all of them at once. If any one of my guesses is wrong, their passwords will be changed at the same time. They will also be completely locked down after three failed attempts, and the state to infuriate the sun won’t be changed!

“Also, I haven’t found the central component of the Gold Crystal Pyramid yet. Even if I do, I have no doubt that it’s heavily protected from the outside. It will be impossible to break the central component unless we can bombard it for half an hour with a super warship!

“But we’re running out of time. The Gold Crystal Pyramid has sent powerful electromagnetic waves to the sun, and the intensity of the solar storms is close to the tipping point. Based on current data, if we cannot turn off the Gold Crystal Pyramid in half an hour, the solar activities will lead to a chain action and eliminate all the creatures within the radiation range of the sun. This apocalyptic state might last five or ten years, or maybe forever. Nobody knows the answer!”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Li Yao scratched his hair and sighed. “Then we don’t have a choice now. First things first. Let’s leave the future trouble to the future!”

Li Yao closed his index finger and his middle finger and rubbed his forehead, completely unlocking the gift that Wuying Qi 3.0 just implanted in his head.

This unlocking was a hundred times more painful than the passive absorption just now. Li Yao’s hair was all standing up, and a gray mist was rising around him. Very soon, the gray mist turned into countless runes that were attached to his body.

Before him, the crystal processors left by the Houyi Clan from hundreds of thousands of years ago also showed countless runes. Every rune on the crystal processors seemed to have a match with a rune on Li Yao’s body. A virtual bridge was established between them.

Li Yao had transformed himself into the core of the mainframe crystal processor of the Gold Crystal Pyramid.

His brain was the key to unlock the highest clearances of the Gold Crystal Pyramid.

Li Yao’s face was so solemn that he almost seemed to be somewhere else.

His eyes were rolling fast, indicating that he was conducting calculations at a high speed.

His ragged clothes were torn apart by the fire of spiritual energy, but the fire and the gray mist weaved into an armor and a cloak for him. His hair and his cloak were moving although there was no wind. Gradually, he got rid of the boundary of gravity and rose to the center of the ancient crystal processors.

“This guy…”

Long Yangjun looked at Li Yao in disbelief. She might be envying Li Yao’s luck, but she saw the price that Li Yao was paying.

“Brother Yao…”

Li Jialing also murmured. It seemed that Brother Yao had also obtained something extraordinary like he did.

“The passwords and the highest clearances of the Gold Crystal Pyramid are ours!”

The mental devil exclaimed in Li Yao’s head, “The Gold Crystal Pyramid is under our control now! It’s ours!”

“Exactly.”

Li Yao smiled in exhaustion and struggled to say, “Now, you’ve gained all the permissions of the Gold Crystal Pyramid. Stop it now!”

“Got it!”

The mental devil exclaimed in delight and rushed out of Li Yao’s brain towards the depths of the mainframe crystal processor of the Gold Crystal Pyramid along thousands of virtual wires.

Different from just now, it was identified as the master of the Gold Crystal Pyramid this time. The barriers and firewalls that blocked it earlier were all opened, and the closed areas were now fully open. It could reach every corner of the Gold Crystal Pyramid and read any information it wanted freely.

Shutdown! Shutdown! The modules that were running so fast that they were almost exploding were all shut down!

The quakes deep inside the Gold Crystal Pyramid finally died down, and the pillar of light that was shot to the sky dimmed and withered, until it vanished into nothingness like a river that had run dry.

…

In the space battlefield, the black spots on the violent sun, which had been proliferating, finally lost their momentum after the last failed attempt to swallow the sun. The fire that the sun darted out was shortened and shortened, and the high-energy particles and radiations emitted by the sun were also declining at an astonishing speed.

Many starships of the ace fleets of the four families had lost their spiritual shields, and their plate armor was about to be pierced through by the high-energy particles. Everybody on those starships was about to be destroyed from the genetic level.

However, when the starships were on the verge of destruction, the fury of the sun slightly ebbed, preventing them from being killed.

However, the dizzy soldiers and Immortal Cultivators did not know that death had just knocked on their door. Because of the powerful reverberation of brainwaves, they were either dizzy or crazy or still haunted by nightmares. However, since the source of their problem had been taken care of, they would wake up from the nightmares very soon.

…

The surface of the capital planet was the same.

Previously, tides hundreds of meters high had taken shape in the ocean and was about to scourge the coastal towns in a destructive tsunami.

Hundreds of volcanoes were all exploding and fuming with intense black smoke, ready to block the sky with magma and turn the places near them into burning infernos.

Animals were escaping from forests. Many rivers were uncannily dry, leaving the dying fish patting their tails at the bottom. Shocked birds were swooping among the skyscrapers in cities until they hit the glass windows and crashed.

Even the most inert person could tell the anomaly of the sun. The ever-expanding black spots turned the sun into a cold and heartless eye, marking the beginning of a millennial eclipse.

However, everything died down when people were caught by desperation.

The surging tides in the ocean collapsed to twenty meters high before they reached the coastal towns. They were easily shattered by the defense rune arrays deployed at the shore.

The seething volcanoes were mostly tranquilized. Some of them erupted, but their magma only covered several square kilometers around the volcanoes, instead of being thrown hundreds of kilometers away.

The shocked birds soared again and returned to their homes like other animals. The rivers were running again. The water of the rivers was dirty at first, but it became as clear as before very soon.

On the orbit of the capital planet, the Fist King managed to reach out to Xiaoming and Wenwen as the solar storm was ebbing. He sent a signal to the Seven Seas Space Zone again, reporting that the environment was good enough for a space jump with enough electromagnetic protection.

Twisted vortexes immediately appeared in the vast cosmos. The three-dimensional universe seemed to have been twisted by a gigantic, invisible hand, which opened a channel to the four-dimensional world.

The Astounding Thunder Fleet and the Arsonist Fleet finally arrived.
